Clinton Baptiste's Paranormal Podcast
Season 7 - Episode 26
Greetings, my spectral spectators! š
This week, the spirits have guided me to the magnificent Victoria Theatre in Halifax, where I'm preparing to perform for a crowd of 1,200 people! I'll admit, I'm feeling a bit jitteryāit's not every day you commune with that many souls at once, both living and... otherwise!
Back in the studio, LindaĀ shares her adventurous attempt at a DIY haircut using a YouTube tutorial. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but the results? Well, let's just say it's a hair-raising tale! āļø Not to be outdone, I recount my recent toenail surgery that's left me hobbling about like a ghoul with a grudge.
We ponder other hidden talents and peculiar skills. My friend Benjamin FrankĀ on Facebook boasts the unique ability to take pills without water. Now there's a party trick that'll impress... or perhaps concern!
Hold onto your crystal balls because we have an absolutely chilling story from Andy Gardner. While working in a graveyard, Andy encountered a mysterious man in a grey suit. This gentleman spoke of London and visiting friends in the village, but his attire and mannerisms seemed oddly out of place. After a brief chat, Andy turned away momentarily, only to find the man had vanished without a trace! This spine-tingling tale is sure to send shivers down your spine. š»
Linda and I then tackle some intriguing dilemmas, starting with someone contemplating meeting up with a chatroom pal. Is it a destined connection or a spectral setup? We offer our sage (and slightly spooky) advice.
Next, we hear from BenĀ at the stage door of the Victoria Theatre. He shares some eerie happenings within the historic venueāproof that theatres truly are hotbeds for hauntings!
We delve into a captivating card reading story from Take a Break, followed by an enthralling tale about pregnancy that intertwines fate and the supernatural. Linda and I wrap things up by offering more of our (questionably) wise counsel on a variety of perplexing problems.
Join us for an episode brimming with laughter, chills, and plenty of paranormal ponderings!
Stay spooky, my loves, and rememberāthe veil is thinnest when we're together!
Spiritually yours,
Clint x
